Dublin, mothertruckers

[Fawbish]

I'm pissing off to Oireland for the weekend come friday morning.

We're staying right near Temple Bar (apparently).

I havent been to Dubz before - so BCF, you veritable gushing fountain of knowledge, you kings and queens of mortal men - wheres good for getting battered and having an absolutely awesome time?


Before anyone mentions expense...I already know. *Fawbish cups his balls gently and his wallet soothingly*

Any stories, memories? Throw 'em out there people.

went to dublin a couple of years ago, however didn't do the party scene so i'm not really helping you

Go to the Brazen Head, it's the oldest pub in dublin I spent new year there it is amazing at least have one decent night there, they do good food too. Buy tickets for the tour bus, When i went I think it was about 20 euros for the week, this is a bargin, not only does it give you a guided tour but it is the easiest way around the city. Try to move out of Temple Bar it is ok but abit too touristy. Obviously the Guiness Factory is a must but the best thing to do is wander about Dublin is brilliant for just having a mooch about. I went to many a brilliant pub just by walking in random directions. Oh BTW beer is really expensive, It cost me 12 euros for 8 cans in a supermarket and it was about 5 euros a pint in the pubs. If it's nice a picnic in St Stephens Green is good.

Dublin didn't do much for me with only a limited amount of really interesting places to visit. Also contrary to popular opinion the best stout brewed in Ireland is available here. https://www.porterhousebrewco.com/
With some good beers also available here. https://www.messrsmaguire.ie/
Temple Bar is a bit kitch. I can't comment on the all night drinking scene as I was in bed by 10:30pm

lol, Christ, I wouldnt be assuming its anything like Magaluf.

For reference, one of my most awesome nights out, and one I wont remember, ever, was in Rome, on a bike trip. We got so fucked it was unreal.

So Im not under any illusions. Just looking for some craic!

Cheers everyone so far.

There are some great little villages around Dublin you can visit for daytime drinking, You can get the coastal train and visit some proper irish pubs. Dublin nightlife is a little bit construceted by the irish for the americans/english, playing up to what they want to see.

Trinity college is quite a lovely buliding worth a visit and you shouldnt really miss o connell street, it huge!

but other than thatyeah, you can still get smashed in and around dublin without looking too hard!

I stayed in temple bar while I was there and I can tell I enjoyed it because of the reliability issues I still have trying to recall what happened there hope you have a good time

I've just remembered.....must have drunk more then I thought...I was there when Leinster played Munster in the Heineken Cup semi final at Croke Park. Watched the game in a pub and had a great time.
If you are there this weekend then Ireland have got Scotland on saturday at Croke....should be a good atmosphere.

The George pub on Georges street is great.
From temple bar it's just across Dame street.

Hope you've got a shite load of euros
The most I was raped for a pint was 8.5 euros in temple bar last year. Average in centre 5 euros a pint.
Food is stupidly expensive in temple bar DO NOT EAT IN TEMPLE BAR AREA. Otherwise there are loads of places to see, the tour passes are normally 2 days not a week but worth doing to see what's what. Most bars in centre have live music, defo visit guiness factory, dublin gaol also worth a frequent.
** note : just read your comment about expense, sorry n'all but it's the first thing I think of when anyone mentions dublin lol **

I went in June with a group of 10 lads including oneself. Stayed in the Harcourt hotel which was a top hotel, restaurant AND one of the best nightclubs in Dublin. Couldn't tell you the names of ANYWHERE but there was a good place with an open roof about 2 mins from the Harcourt, and another one near temple bar, but about 10 flights of stairs to get up to the roof garden bar.
Couple of places we found good, but only due to the locals' enjoyment of a group of crazy Scottish lads on a "bad shirt night" (wearing the foulest shirt you have in your collection or can find in a shop, e.g Hawaiin or pink with studs).
It's like anywhere really, don't ask the locals what the best nightclubs are, they'll recommend the ones best for locals, such as Copperface Jacks (aka Slapperface Jacks) as you'll easily pull a dirty in there. If you're a tourist it's far better going where the locals socialise and mess around with fun tourists. I got given a ginger wig and was dancing and doing shots with a large group of locals, though my friends are less outgoing at times.

Only had one drink in Temple bar, was a bit "meh" really.
